Senate Democrats Introduce Legislation to Repeal Religious Freedoms

The leader of the U.S. House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee, Congressman Kevin Brady of Texas, released the following statement regarding Senate Democrat plans to reverse the Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of Hobby Lobby through new legislation:

“Senate Democrats want to repeal the religious freedoms of Americans and allow the federal government to force family-run businesses to violate their own religious beliefs. I predict this extreme attack on these treasured rights of Americans will fail.

“They should be using their time to address the harm done by the Affordable Care Act, including rising health care costs, lost jobs, and Americans forced out of their plans and unable to see their doctor or hospital of choice. Senate Democrats are out of touch with working Americans.”
